OMG Hot Flashes

Today will be day 5 on Lupron and I am having hot flashes like crazy!!! I was talking to my pharmacist about my insurance, so I thought I'd ask her if the hot flashes were common with Lupron and she just stated laughing. Told me is going to be a crazy couple of weeks to come and that the hot flashes are just the beginning.

Just thought I'd share. I have a whole new respect for women going through menopause.

If anyone else is having fun and fabulous side effects, feel free to share.

Re: OMG Hot Flashes

  • I'm there with ya!

    DH and I went shopping on Saturday and even in freezing cold weather I was sweating. When I walked into Sur la Table, I know the salesperson was looking at my forehead sweat and thinking "why in the world is this lady sweating?"  So embarrassing! :(

    I hope you feel better. Hot Flashes and headaches tend to subside once you start stimming or taking estrace.

  • Oh yeah....hot flashes here too!  It's super weird for me because I'm ALWAYS cold so these new hot flashes are a crazy feeling.  Also look out for headaches and weird dreams. I've had only a few headaches but some on here have many ore. The dreams for me happen everytime I sleep. Some are really cool, others are not so good...lol. Oh and prepared to be tired.....I could sleep all day! Just know that it's all normal and will go away once you stop it.

  • I haven't had any crazy dreams yet, at least non that I remember. The headaches kicked in on Monday and the tiredness is getting worse as the days go on. I go through phases where I get all sweaty at night, so that is nothing new to me. Oh the joys of IF...
